Thank you for your help. I think I'm still having a problem with the line:
s/$pattern/qq{$replace}/eeg;
Here's the snippet that's failing:
# get strings from GUI.
my $old = my $new = $_->children->get; # get old filename
my $pattern = $form->{'entry2'}->get_text();
# e.g. $pattern == "^(\d{2})\. (.*)$" after this
my $replace = $form->{'entry1'}->get_text();
# e.g. $replace == "two-$2, one-$1" after this
# is the following match necessary? $1, etc
# need to be assigned somehow...
if($old =~ /$pattern/) {
$new =~ s/$pattern/qq{$replace}/eeg;
print STDERR $old." => ".$new."\n";
}
After the $new =~ line, $new is empty, every time. Am I missing something?
Thanks again

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
